Inside the throne room just after the warp incident...
"Crap, my head hurts!" the Emperor growled in his mind as shocking changes are currently happening. The soul and his consciousness are beginning to merge completely but the soul was overpowering his consciousness making him lose his supposed attitude and countless memories regarding his past except for the most memorable things.
The memories embedded in the soul of the Emperor was currently being assimilated in his consciousness. The knowledge of technology, genetics, martial arts, weapon, etc. are all being imprinted in his mind changing him completely in the way he talk and think.
After the assimilation has finally completed he rose from his golden throne and tested his new found power. He teleported to a balcony inside the palace to look over his whole planet.
"I truly am the God-Emperor of Mankind" he whispered in his heart as he used his godlike psychic ability to peer into the whole galaxy for a fraction of a second. He found out that the galaxy isn't the same as that on the memories of the soul. There's the existence of hyperlanes and a mysterious energy that's omnipresent in the entirety of the universe. He also found out that only the Imperium has been transferred at this galaxy. There's no orks, necrons, tyranids, or the tau but there's also no immaterium or webway present.The closest thing to the webway is the hyperlanes but they're also fundamentally different in nature.
He's at a lost on why he can still tap into his psychic powers. He can only attribute it to the mysterious omnipresent energy that this universe possess for now.
"What is happening, I feel that I have knowledge regarding this galaxy but I can't seem to remember it completely."
As he was busy studying and formulating plans in his mind a voice reached his ears. The voice of a man sounded asking him something.
"W-who are you..."
...
32 bby...
It has been a decade since the arrival of the whole Imperium on this strange galaxy. In this 10 years the whole empire undergone a massive rehauling of its administritive practices and many more. The church and the state has been firmly separated and a secret agreement was forged between the ecclesiarchy including the inquisition and the Emperor.
The agreement stated that there wouldn't be any changes happening to the role of the ecclesiarchy and the inquisition but they would be separated from the state but would still be under the Emperor. They would tone all the heretic murder unless someone is proven to be an actual heretic. With this in the table the state would generally turn a blind eye to most things.
The agreement also states that the ecclesiarchy and the inquisition would always have the Emperor as its rightful head and leader. They wouldn't disobey any command the Emperor gives them.
This agreement was signed to maintain a status quo and create a plan b for when the morale of the soldiers plummeted it could be raised once again with a simple battle cry.
With the agreement in place and the Emperor's supposed return, the whole Imperium was flabbergasted. The worship of the Emperor was more prevalent more than ever. The Emperor however is still adjusting with all these worship shenanigans happening but steeled himself and thought that this would be the best outcome for now instead of trying a galactic scale memory altering or possibly erasing. There still aren't enough information that could prove that this feat is still possible or if there could be any restrictions. So instead of tapping to the warp or something similar which could possibly have dire consequences, the Emperor chose to do this instead.
The Imperium also has undergone a renaissance like event, specially the Astra Mechanicus headquartered on the planet of Mars.
Under the leadership of the Emperor himself they managed the relearn technologies from the dark age whilst creating new ones.
The number of space marines per chapter of the Adeptus Astartes has also increased in number. From the usual 1 thousand to 2 thousand on the 2nd year and then 10 thousand on the 10th year. The total number of the Astartes has more than doubled in number and size.
The government also became heavily centralized with the help of technologies. The Imperium undergone a brief period of culture shock with the rapid rediscovery and creation of technologies but was also quick to adjust their lifestyle.
The abhumans, mutants, etc. are also officially accepted as citizens. The reasoning of the Emperor is that they're still humans just with a slightly different name and appearance. At first this raised questions from the ecclesiarchy and inquisition but they still shrugged it off nonetheless. Attributing it to the "will of the Emperor".
Roboute Guilliman was named as the Imperial Prime Lord. A new position of power next only to the Emperor himself. His job is to oversee the political affairs of the empire, monitor its economy and the likes. A role perfectly suitable for someone like Roboute who's smart and intelligent. Together with the reformed high lords of Terra, they'll oversee administrative affairs of the whole Imperium.
The whole Imperium is in a state far better than it ever experienced. Battleships numbering in thousands or possibly hundred thousands were currently being produced by forge worlds under the Adeptus Mechanicus. The standing ships of the Imperium was also retrofitted with the most advance technology.
They also managed to create a way to achieve a faster than light travel in the way of using the string dimension which composes the whole universe.This dimension is the n-1 dimension and hardly detectable due to its special nature. A travelling through this dimension gives you the advantage of bypassing any hyperlane restrictions. Through quantum teleportation, they'll be teleported to the extradimension and with the help of a heavily modified warp engine they'll traverse this string dimension and emerge to their destination without difficulties.
Everything is seemingly going great for the Imperium, what could possibly go wrong.
...
In the span of a decade the whole Imperium has sent scout ships to completely map the whole galaxy they were currently in. On their journey they managed to capture some real juicy information regarding the history of this galaxy as a whole. They found out that there's a mysterious omnipresent energy that the native inhabitants calls "force". A force they first categorized as something like the warp. But as experiments was conducted it was re-categorized to an energy like the soul.
The discovery of this energy amd it being absolutely different from the warp raised concerns in the rankings of the psykers. They asked what or where's the source of their power if the force isn't the same as the warp. The Emperor passed down a resolution of limiting the use of psychic powers for the time being. As long as they still can't find the source of their psychic power if it's not the warp, then it's better be safe than sorry.
The Imperium also inserted sleeper agents and spies on key planets and locations they deemed important such as Coruscant.
As intelligence poured in from the sleeper agents and spies inserted on key planets such as Coruscant. The more the Emperor frowned as memories started to resurface.
"Naboo, Jedi council, Yoda, I can't remember where have I heard these names." cursed the Emperor in his heart.
"Very well, thank you for your report high lord." Roboute said with a pleased tone. He's happy that for once, the high lords are actually useful and has their mind set on important things rather than nonsensical topics.
He looked at his father to inquire if he has any questions regarding the report but instead saw him frowning.
"Father, are you okay?" asked Roboute in concern. This question snapped the Emperor back to reality as he gently nods his head.
"I'm fine, anyway, did you said that a blockade on Naboo will be starting this year nased on their calendar?" questioned the Emperor to the high lord who immediately answered with voice full of fear as he didn't expect such a question.
"Y-yes my lord, they'll be blockading the whole of Naboo, including the human capital, Theed."
"Humans huh...I see" nodded the Emperor as he fell into deep thought.
"The Trade Federation is headed by?" asked the Emperor once again.
"B-by a xeno named Nute Gunray" answered the high lord with difficulty.
"A xeno dared to attack a human? Who's the perpetrator of the attack?" a chilling voice influenced by the Emperor's hate for the aliens sounded as he looked at the high lord in anger.
The high lord managed to gulp a mouthful of saliva before answering.
"Y-yes my lord. A certain senator going by the name Sheev Palpatine is the one who orchestrated the attack."
"Father, the Imperial Navy is ready at a moment's notice. Just say the word." interjected Roboute as he predicted the next words of his father.
"Very well, dispatch a battlefleet and observe the situation. Have them wait on the string dimension and only strike if the blockading fleet acts against the planet" ordered the Emperor as he stood up from his seat and proclaimed.
"An attack on any human is an attack against the whole of humanity and the Imperium."
"Such an act can't go unanswered"
"Let this galaxy feel humanity's power"
"Let them feel the power of the Imperium!"
Hi :)
Is the pacing too fast? I'm not really keen on writing chapters onoy focusing on the supposed development and reformations. I think it's a waste of chapter count and can be described briefly in a couple of paragraphs.
Let me know if the pacing is too fast so I'll slow it down.
:)
